A clean, no-frills hotel with great staff and an excellent view of the river. Pet-friendly, with nature walks next to the hotel, and close to very good Pizza. If you stay in Blind River, this is the place to go.

Very scenic location with wonderful view of falls and river. Check-in was above expectations. This property is undergoing renovations but this did not effect our enjoyment of it. Would definitely book this lodging again.

Be careful! This motel isn’t in Manitoulin Island at all! The motel is 150km far away from the entrance of the Island. When I searched the hotel in Manitoulin Island, Expedia website recommended this Motel. It is a trap! Don’t trust the results about Manitoulin Island from Expedia.

Our booking at the Old Mill got cancelled and we ended up having to go to Spanish River Inn. Rather inconvenient though the staff were kind in making sure the reservation took place. It is a loud location right next to the Highway and the AC is even louder. Neceessary though to cool the hot room and drown out the road traffic.

It’s a trade off. You can’t beat the location, especially if you’re on the river side.Near the centre of town and looking onto the river with fabulous rushing waterfalls at your doorstep. There are even benches outside the room for morning breakfast beside the water.
The room itself is basic but clean and well appointed. Good value for the price. Only complaint is how noisy the AC unit is and the rooms should have blackout curtains as the outside light is on all night.
Otherwise with earplugs and face mask, we slept well in the comfortable beds.

This is an absolute jem. The water side is beautiful. Falling asleep listening to the water was great for my soul.
Check in was perfect. Host was friendly and welcoming.
Beds are super comfy.
Great stay!

Room was very hot! Window was open and air conditioner was iced over. We were given a different room and the remote didn't turn on the TV. The bedside lamp didn't work. There was a very strong smell everywhere of marijuana. We won't be back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

Would never recommend and would love a refund. Disgusting is a mild term to use for this place. Booked a room for 2 adults since that is what was asked and we needed a room with 2 beds, then our 2 kids walk in and he charged us an extra $35! Same room, same beds, same lack of cleanliness with an upcharge because our kids were with us? We were asked for number of adults. Nasty shack across the road is where he recommended we eat-beyond gross. Thankful for a Tim Hortons nearby. That is the only perk to this area. Stay away!
We were supposed to stay at the old mill hotel, but they called and said that they had a Water-main break and we’re not able to have people stay there, but when we went by the hotel, the parking lot was full. They sent us to a small town, which was 45 minutes to an hour away, had no amenities. The only restaurant around was a chip truck very disappointed.

No one was available at front desk and when I walked around back of motel near river door was open for a room that was cleaned and it was rather unsanitary. We had an appointment and could not wait any longer
The lady called us at 10:30 that night to find out where we ended up and remarked that she would still charge us for the room regardless .

The room has a very strong musty moldy smell. Had to get order timber spray to help. The tv was plugged into the bathroom. So you could not shut the bathroom door to use the bathroom. Tape keeping the lamp shade together. Booked a pet friendly room and then was told at check in that I owed the pet fees as they were not included with the room cost, which was not clear at booking

Property is a convenient stop over half-way point however on a lower end of the scale as far as room updateness goes. Needs a face-lift and room color scheme changes. Old building. Nice that Tim's is close by and an awesome Pizza place for a meal.
